On a scale drawing of a basketball court, 1 inch equals 8 feet the actual area of the basketball court if the scale drawing is 11. 75 inches by 6. 25 inches will be 4,700 square feet.

Given:

  • 1 inch =8 feet
  • 11.75 * 8 = 94 feet
  • 6.25 * 8 = 50 feet

To solve the given question we will assume the court is rectangular in shape so we will solve by using formula of Area of rectangle

[tex]\rm Area \;of\;rectangle\;= l\times b[/tex]

Where, l=length

            b=breadth

According to the given question,

    [tex]\rm Area = 94\; feet \times 50\; feet\\\\ = 4,700 \;square\; feet.\\[/tex]
